How to scan receipts into Excel
A receipt scanner turns a pile of paper receipts into an expense list. Take a photo of each receipt, choose them all here, and download one spreadsheet with a row per receipt and a second sheet with every item.
How to scan receipts into Excel
- Photograph each receipt flat on a dark surface, in good light, with the whole receipt in the frame.
- Choose or drop up to 10 photos (JPG, PNG) or PDFs above.
- Wait while each one is read. The text is read on your device, then the fields are found.
- Check the marked receipts. Each receipt shows whether its items, tax and total add up.
- Download Excel or CSV. The Receipts sheet has one row per receipt; Line items has every item.

Tips for faded and long receipts
Thermal till receipts fade with heat and time, so scan them soon after you get them. Photograph a long receipt in one picture if the text stays readable, or scan it on a flatbed. Creased receipts read better pressed flat under glass. A total that equals the subtotal is fine when the prices already include tax.
Keep the originals
Tax authorities and many expense policies want the original or a legible image, so keep the photos with the spreadsheet. The scanner gives you the data; it does not replace the receipt as evidence. Converting a whole bank statement instead? Use the bank statement to Excel tool.
